Absolutely not. Question 2 could be read as "So you agree that [at least] some things in the Bible are not literal, like Adam and Eve?", in which case question 3 is still a logical question. Perhaps I over simplified the answers, but A.) the original set of questions also assumed an oversimplified set of responses, and B.) it was partly rhetorical.
I never said you couldn't make jokes - by all means, please do. What I did not appreciate was your insulting responses to an otherwise civil debate. We clearly do not see eye to eye, but I at least granted you the courtesy of not resorting to personal attacks to make my points.
I'm not being insulting, I'm having fun. Please don't take it that way. My point was serious... I am, after all helping you with questions to trip up Christians am I not?
On the other hand, your retorts were attempts at serious slurs. I forgive you as you don't seem to know me. Peace brother

You said God can't lie, I pointed out an example in your religion where he lied. All you can do to refute is make the pathetic excuse that he meant spiritually. Well, last time I checked, words have meanings, and without the qualifier of "Spiritually" in the story, dead is dead.
I think the Bible is a piece of crap, but if you believe in it and are going to argue on the basis of believing in it that God can't lie, well, I have merely shown you the absurdity of your assertion.
Your logic is absurd Eilonnwy. think about it for one second, and consider what I've said.
You lying to yourself isn't intelligent atheism... it's hiding your head in the sand.
The whole point of the story of Adam & Eve is the rebellion from God. The "Separation". That separation = spiritual death. It doesn't mean "die" as in cease to live - or there wouldn't be humanity you literalist fool! Adam and Eve were rejected from the Garden Of Eden - spiritual connection with God - and took up a life of "knowledge of good and evil". They were ashamed of themselves "knowing" their weaknesses, instead of being fulfilled as they once were. This is not literal! This is allegorical for the reality of the human condition.
